as shocking departure from the moss

IT IS rather late In the season TO OK
pect action on the matter by Congress,
but Il Is never too late TO recommend so
fair and meritorious q proposition as
that embraced In the bill, or amend.
mcnt to the River and Harbor bill
for the construction Of an outlet for the
flood waters Of the Mississippi, so long
and persistenily agitated by Captain
John Cowdon. This bill authorizes
Captain Cowdon and his associates to
construct ut their own expense an out.
let one mile in width, with proper
levces and cmbankments from point
about ten miles below New Orleans to
Lake Borgne on such land as they may
own or acquire, and provides that for
each foot of flood line lowered by this
outlet, to be ascertained by board of
FIVE persons, three OF them to be ap'
pointed by the Secretary Of War, thc
said Cowdon and his associates shall be
paid at the rate OF 100000 per foot,
but no paymen, to be made at all until
the flood line shall have been 10 ycrcl
two feet at Memphis, Tenn, and only
half of the sums found to be due To
be paid over until low water uavigahle
channel is secured from New Orlea IS
to Cairo. Considering the advantages
to commerce embraced in such re-
suits as these, aud the further fact that
Captain Cowdon is to receive no pay.
ments until such results are shown to
be practicable, and that the Govern
ment is to be put to no expense what
ever for building the proposed outlet
we cannot well see why Congress should
hesitate to accept the proposition.
Captain Cowdon is practical river
man, of long experience in Wcsierr
waters and has full faith in the success
of his plans. If he fails. the Govern
ment will lose nothing. If he sac
ceeds, the Government will rcaI
magnificent benefits from the enter
prise. 1t Is not too late even now t.
